Album C-View: Lady Gaga - "ARTPOP"
On this episode, we take a closer look at Lady Gaga's album "ARTPOP" and deep dive into the production, visuals, lyrics and performances. Despite the album's mixed reviews and commercial struggles, it remains a fan-favorite and an iconic part of Lady Gaga's career...though some do call it "ARTFLOP"! In this track-by-track review, we explore the different themes present in the album, the collaborations with top producers and artists, and the unforgettable performances at the VMAs, AMAs, and SXSW. We also discuss the rumors of a potential "part 2" of "ARTPOP".
